Let's divide 596990 by 73
We want to divide 596990 by 73.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 59 / 73

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 59 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 59.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 59 and we're left with 59.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 59, then repeat: 596 / 73

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 596 by 73, we get 8 and a remainder of 12.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8.0
Deduct 584 from 596 and we're left with 12.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 129 / 73

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 129 by 73, we get 1 and a remainder of 56.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 81.0
Deduct 73 from 129 and we're left with 56.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 56, then repeat: 569 / 73

On to step 5:
The number 73 fits into 569 7 times, leaving a remainder of 58.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 817.0
If we take 511 away from 569, we end up with 58.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 58, then repeat: 580 / 73

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 73 fits into 580 7 times, leaving a remainder of 69.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8177.0
Subtract 511 from 580 to get 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
73 can be fit into 690 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8177.9
If we subtract 657 from 690, we get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
73 goes into 330 4 times with a remainder of 38.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8177.94
Subtracting 292 from 330 leaves us with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 380 by 73, we get 5 with a remainder of 15.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8177.945
If we subtract 365 from 380, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
150 divided by 73 is 2 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8177.9452
If we subtract 146 from 150, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 73 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8177.9452
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 73 fits into 400 5 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8177.945205
Deduct 365 from 400 and we're left with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
73 goes into 350 4 times with a remainder of 58.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8177.9452054
Subtracting 292 from 350 leaves us with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Step 14:
73 can be fit into 580 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 69.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8177.94520547
Subtract 511 from 580 to get 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 8177.94520547, and the remainder is 6.9e-08.
